What we do

The Road Safety Advisory Council (RSAC) makes recommendations to Government about road safety policy and public education programs, expenditure of the Road Safety Levy and oversees advertising campaigns. The Council's work is based on the Towards Zero Tasmanian Road Safety Strategy 2017-2026.

Motorcyclists

Motorcycles are four percent of the registered vehicles in Tasmania but riders are 28 percent of the fatalities and serious injuries. Motorcyclists are vulnerable road users as there is little protecting them if they crash. Improved rider training and enforcement will help to improve motorcyclist safety. Active safety technologies such as Anti-lock Braking Systems and traction control have a role to play in improving safety for these road users. Protective clothing also reduces crash injury severity.
